DRC journalists arrested, tortured: media watchdog

Kananga - Four journalists and technicians of a Catholic radio station have been arrested and held by Democratic Republic of Congo state security forces, who have submitted them to "serious torture", press watchdog Journalists in Danger (JED) claimed on Friday.

The JED, the African partner of Reporters without Borders (RSF), said the employees of Radio Veritas - based in the central city of Kabinda - were arrested on Wednesday by the National Intelligence Agency (ANR).
